WP 1-Click Login: The Future of WordPress Logins #ad
At IM NewsWatch we can really use WP 1-Click Login. Here’s the background:
About 30 times every day a hacker tries to login to our admin panel using the user name “admin” or one of the names they see as an author of a post. So we have locked the login process tightly. If you enter the wrong password twice in a row, your PC is locked out for 60 days. That keeps hackers out (so far, at least).
The problem is that we aren’t great typists. Even though we are legitimate users, we have gotten locked out ourselves multiple times. What a pain! And how much time is wasted trying to overcome the lock-out.
But this lock-out process is essential for our security. We don’t want to do away with it. That’s why we have decided to try WP 1-Click Login.
We have seen this strategy used in several big name websites recently, and it seems to work well. This new WP plugin, being launched today, makes it economical enough that small businesses can use it. It’s fast, secure, and customizable.
If you have a site where login is required, you may want to try it, too. There are two situations where it is especially useful:
1. You have multiple sites where you must login. For security, you don’t want to use the same password on multiple sites. If Even though it’s a pain to remember multiple passwords, you probably use a different password at each of your sites so that a crook breaking into one site doesn’t get the password for all your sites.
2. If you have a membership site with members who all need to remember a password for your site.
With WP 1-Click Login, there’s no more remembering tricky passwords or doing lots of steps to get in.
All you need is one click, and you’re in.
Also, it keeps your website super safe.
It protects it from bad guys who steal passwords while making it super simple for you to get in.
Instead of typing a password, now you just:
1. Go to the site
2. Enter your userid, causing the plugin to send a link to the email address associated with that userid
3. Go to your email associated with your userid
4. Click on the link your site just sent you.
As you have probably figured out, the key to this process is that when a WordPress userid is created, you must specify an email address for that user. WP 1-Click Login just uses the WordPress internal database to look up the email address for the userid you enter and sends the link to that email address.
Unless crooks break into your email account (WordPress hides your email address from the public so crooks don’t know what it is), they can’t see (and can’t click on) the link.
Watch this sort demo to see it in action:
It’s easy to install, and it’s even easier for you and your members to use.

Why B2B Marketers Need to ‘Prove It’ With a Trust-Building Content Strategy [Podcast]
MarketingProfs has published a new episode of the Marketing Smarts podcast ‘Why B2B Marketers Need to ‘Prove It’ With a Trust-Building Content Strategy’ featuring Melanie Deziel.
George B. Thomas says, “You can’t make a scientific claim without testing and proving your hypothesis. You can’t write a research paper without using and listing sources. So why should marketers expect blind acceptance that the claims they make in marketing content are true?
Melanie points out three major ways.
Corroboration: “That means relying on other people’s opinions—that’s the quotes, the testimonials, the case studies, the expert opinions. Bring in other voices to agree with what you’re saying.”
Demonstration: “Look for ways to show it. Like in [an] infomercial, show them instead of just telling them. How can you let them see it with their own eyes? Give them the full product walk through, the tutorial, the behind the scenes, the in-depth case study.”
Education: “A lot of times, our audience can’t believe our claims because they don’t understand them.”
